The Chicago White Sox got two pieces of bad news on Thursday. First, they were destroyed 20-1 by the Minnesota Twins, who are not exactly the Big Red Machine offensively. Then, still smarting from this negative experience, they learned that their efforts to beef up the pitching staff responsible for turning the light-hitting Twinkles into a one-day Murderers Row had suffered a set-back when Jake Peavy refused to accept their trade for him. I don’t know what could’ve possibly happened to the Sox to make it a worse day. Ozzie Guillen getting suspended for calling Bud Selig a f***ing asshole pus-licker? A.J. Pierzynski finally being outed as a transexual? Barack Obama flip-flopping (like he has on Gitmo) and becoming a Cubs fan?
